The sufferings of Christ are exceedingly powerful, to melt believers’ hearts into godly sorrow.
God transferred the sins of men upon Christ, and inflicted on him a punishment for them.
O that Christ would plant some of his flowers in our soul, and bless the soil, that they might grow kindly there, being warmed and nourished with his grace! If grace be within, in sad pressures it comes out.
Where divine love possesseth the soul, it stands as centinel to keep out every thing that may offend the Beloved.
We are quite persuaded that the very best way for you to be spending your leisure, is to be either reading or praying.
